The last
thing I want to do is deprive the
citizens of District Eight of their necessary representation before our
Board
of Supervisors. As I told you this past Saturday in my office, however,
I have
received a great many communications from the residents of District
Eight-some
from your public opponents, others from your past supporters-which have
urged
me not to reappoint you to the Board of Supervisors.

As I informed you this past
Saturday, I am going to take an addi­tional week in which to review
this
situation, and to receive further communications on the subject from
the
citizens of District Eight, some of which may conceivably benefit you.
But I
must reiterate that I have not made a commitment of any kind to appoint
you-or
any other San Franciscan-to the position of Supervisor from District
Eight. ­
